A new restaurant has opened in the spacious former Long Beach digs of Grillfire. Brixx & Barley is a collaboration between Daniel Macaluso, Rich Cammarata (of Ciao Baby in Commack and Massapequa Park) and Anthony Millwater, a bar manager at RC Dugan's in East Meadow.

Macaluso said that the restaurant’s name referred to the pizza oven (made of .?.?. brixx) and the selection of around 70 craft brews (made from barley).
